though I haven't played Eternal Darkness and unless it's on PS2, I won't be playing it either.
I like that my ps2 will play dvd's, because now I have two dvd players, one for my tv downstairs and one for the tv upstairs.
we chose the ps2 because of the larger amount of games available than the other two consoles. GameCube does have more "kid" friendly games than the PS2, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Just games that are more substance and less violence.
I'm also not a hard core gamer, so I'm only looking for certain things to fufill my gaming experience. I actually prefer games on the PC, to be honest.
